Just to have a little fun, let's see if anyone wants to take a guess at what some are actually seeing.
I'll post my findings a little later.

Maybe the ends of the limbs turn a bit at full draw due to the increase in pressure on the cables in a sideways direction do to the cable slide.[&:]

RE: It is NOT cam lean!
After being off this site for almost a year--I couldn't help but take a go at this one.
Len, I was in attendance at one of your seminars (great show) at the recent ATA show in Indy--also met you after at the Spot Hogg booth, and if I could recall correctly, we did run a test on the Allegiance EQ Cam.
At that time we were seeing about 1/16" to 1/8" cam lean (not alligned symmetrically).
Using the Apple Archery laser, connected to the bottom axle and rotating the laser to the top cam, the light was definitely off to the right.
Using the Spot Hogg laser, which actaully is fitted to the 'side of the cam' and not aligned in the center of the cam groove, as the Apple laser tool is--will understandably produce what seems to be cam lean, due to the fact the laser (Spot Hogg) at set up is not focused in the center of the cable groove.
Depending on which of the two tools you're using, variations can occur.
I've also found that not levelling the bow horizontally and vertically also produces incorrect readings. Unequaled tiller measurements also add to the problem.

Knowing Len's "style" of posting over the years.......
My guess is that whatever it is , is less of an issue than worries over potential cam lean would have been.
If it was something really bad.......you'd know.

RE: It is NOT cam lean!
Ok I am going say that it has something to do with the barbadensis axis which is effecting the propylparaben static allignment of the cetearyl.
